• .NET Development Loading and unloading XML

  I'm trying to load and parse from an XML file and unload the file at the end of the program. I'm using VC++ 6. We had a working code where each time we need to read or write to/from the XML file, we are loading and parsing it and when we are done, we unload it immediately. This was working fine, but due to the overhead of loading and unloading each time, I am trying to change it so that load and unload happen only once (at the beginning and the end of the program respectively). The code that is getting executed at the beginning is: IXMLDOMDocument *m_pXMLDom; ... ...  //Load the XML file in the DOM     &nbs ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS saved in MSDB

  I ran the SSIS wizard in Management Studio and saved the file in MSDB. I want to look at the design of the package but even going to BI development studio, I can't seem to find where you can open and work with the packages which were created in Management Studio and saved in MSDB. Anyone find a way to look at them You can connect to Integration Services using Management Studio. Navigate to Stored packages -> MSDB. You will find your saved package. You can right click that and export that package to File System. It will save the package as <PackageName>.dtsx. You can then open the Package in Mana ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Web test failing RequestFailed: The value of the date string in the header is invalid.

  All webtests I run from VS2005 RTM are failing with a response of: RequestFailed: The value of the date string in the header is invalid.

• Visual C++ a lock system problem

  Hi, I'm working on a program using a .ocx control purchased recently (whose function is calendar and calculator). However, whenever I lock the system by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del or the screen saver with password is about to run, my program crashes. I know it's due to that control, so I asked the company for the source code. But it is too complicated to make myself clear on those codes in a short time. If sb. has the experiences of dealing with such problem, pls do me a favour,just show me where should be focused on. Thank you very mcuh. If you have the source code create a debug build. Launch the sample program that causes the crash. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Derived Hashtable Problems

  Hi - I have created a class that derives from Hashtable whose items are arraylists, creating a multimap of sorts for which I can iterate through all the items of the same key. I have overwritten the set_Item property method so that adding an item always places it in the arraylist for the given key. I am having trouble with the get_Item method though. If I don't define the get_Item method than I get a compiler error when I try to use it, even though it is a valid public method of the Hashtable base class. Here's the error: error C2775: 'AEM::Shared::CListMap::Item' : no 'get' method is associated with this property see declar ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Error Installing Visual Basic 2005 Express

• Visual Studio Express Editions Learning C++

  Where would be the best place to learn C++ >> I wouldn't consider any resume that has listed as his or her primary education reading books. I have done no courses at all, ever. I consider that sort of rejection a lucky escape, I regard any interview as going two ways, and anyone who regards how I learned to be more important than what I know, I'm glad not to work for them. I learned entirely by reading books. I got my first programming job within 6 months, and became a C++ MVP within four years, the same amount of time it would have taken me to get to the point of having an entry level job in the industry after getting a de ...Show All

  Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to solve a virtual memory error We randomly get the following error when trying to run sycn over the http websync. Some clients have 512 MB running sql express, others are full instances that have 1.5 GB. The merge process could not allocate memory for an operation; your system may be running low on virtual memory. Restart the Merge Agent. Yunjing, Thanks for the reply. Is there a way to currently reduce the amount of data being transferred per sync. For example I know that there is 100 rows with 500kb on each row and I now know that 20 rows will work. ...Show All
